Meat and Poultry Products Recalled Due to Possible Listeria

Approximately 35,000 pounds of fully cooked chicken, beef and pork products have been recalled for possible contamination of Listeria monocytogenes by Idaho-based LJD Holdings, Inc., operating as B and D Foods.

– 30-lb. boxes of “KETTLE COOKED CHICKEN BREAST PIECES,” bearing an identifying code of “A-3900.” This product was distributed to an industrial customer in Ohio.

– 30-lb. boxes of “FULLY COOKED PORK STRIPS,” bearing an identifying code of “A-3025-30.” This product was distributed to an industrial customer in Arizona and California.

The recalled products bear the establishment number “EST. 6266″ or “Est. P-6266″ inside the USDA mark of inspection. They also bear the identifying case code “110622.”

“The products were produced on Dec. 6, 2012, and distributed to foodservice and institutional customers, as well as an industrial customer in the distribution areas noted above,” a recall statement read.

The problem was discovered by the company through microbiological testing.

No illnesses have been connected to the recall at this time. However, due to the time it takes to trace foodborne illnesses back to their source, it is not possible to say whether any illnesses have been caused.
